New Guild Leader

13 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

This is my first reddit post and I hope this doesn't come across as dumb :) I've been playing DDO since 2012 mainly with my brother. We normally don't know other people to play with, but I have started a guild (The Kitty Committee, level 14). I would love to expand this guild but I'm a very socially awkward woman and sometimes life forces me to quit playing for a little bit.

Here's the question: How do I find people for my guild and how do I best manage a guild?

Thanks!

Returning player: Help me save my Shiradi Magic Missile Build

5 Upvotes

Okay, so I've got a pretty standard kinda tank-ish build of 12/6/2 Wiz/Pal/Rog PDK... Which used magic missile spam for Shiradi procs... Yeah, I quit around 2014, right after Thunderholme released. Now, is there a way to save this build? It was relying on Shiradi procs but now they're... Really dogwater. I tried running couple quests in Eveningstar(like Battle for Eveningstar) on Elite and while survivability was totally fine, my damage against bosses and mini-bosses was just dogwater.

So, should I just HTR(I'm like 3-4 levels from 30) or just do lesser reincarnation for respeccing? I have like 3 or 4 class past lives, 2 shiradi past lives... Dunno really, since I might quit again due to terrible inventory managements system(my TR cache still has ~100 items left there).

Also, how bad is Sacred Fist pure pally? On paper getting evasion and all pally bonuses without multiclassing sounds awesome, however I heard the damage is dogwater.

Thoughts?

Returning player: Interesting builds for a Tabaxi?

7 Upvotes

Hoi! So I'm coming back to DDO after a couple years, and Tabaxi look kinda cool. Any especially interesting builds for them?

Bonus points for newbie/solo friendly, since I'm more or less relearning the game at this point.

(The "Cat Scratch" enhancement looks cool, but I'm not really sure what weapons it works with)

Bow Builds for the current Meta

14 Upvotes

Anyone have a good Bow Build? Are they viable at Endgame with the new rebalancing?


r/ddo • • 1d ago

Decided to try the game after playing a bit due to the recently free code and been enjoying so far. Which other content should I be looking to purchase in order to get the most of the experience as a mostly solo player?

21 Upvotes

I'm not necessarily a big spender/whale type, but wouldn't mind buying a few expansion packs and other useful unlocks to improve my overall experience.

What do you guys suggest?

randomly huge large high level mist groups at low level keep killing me, i assuming im doing something rong but what?

20 Upvotes

happened 5 or six times now, i'll get to level 4 or 5 (but its happened at level 1 as well), and a randomly huge group of orange named enemies will spawn and one shot me, even as a barbarian.

since i dont see other people complaining, i'm assuming this is know about and people know how to avoid these deaths?

so could someone please tell me, i was nearly finished my first lantern the last time it happened and its starting to get personal.

LFG: Legendary Shroud runs on Shadowdale

5 Upvotes

I'm an old player who comes and goes with DDO. I recently came back to find out legendary greensteel is a thing. I would like to craft some goggles for my Epic Favored soul for his epic reincarnations, but I can't seem to get a group together, as epic shroud has apparently fallen out of favor.

I'm looking for some people who wouldn't mind running me through the raid a couple times. Respond here if you'd be willing and able, I'll try to coordinate a time for all of us to get together. Thanks!

I am in eastern time and work heavily during four days of the week, but tend to be available most weekends- Friday, saturday, and sunday.

My Enhancements window is blacked out (new player)

11 Upvotes

I've just started playing, leveled up a bit, and the game tells me to put points in Enhancements.

But my Enhancements screen is blacked out, no text or anything. The Destiny screen also is, for what's worth, though I imagine that one is for late game.

Update: Thanks everyone, I was looking at the wrong window indeed (the one in the character panel instead of the dedicated Enhancements window). My chat was on top of the button that opens all the panels, so it took me a while to see it.

New Warlock Build

10 Upvotes

With all of the rebalancing Im thinking about running some Warlock lives. Any thoughts on the rebalancing and what build I should go with?


r/ddo • • 3d ago

Any long-time DDO players have decent recollection of whether RL Holiday Season sales by SSG have been good? I do not want this questn to involve any AI.

13 Upvotes

I looked in wiki for any kind of history of Black Friday sales, etc, and by blindness, grogginess, or, etc, I found none.

So, anyone?

Thanks in advance

EDIT: My search failure was cuz I ignored my usual practice of using a broader search if a narrow one did not work. I should have searched "sales" in general, duhhhhhhh... Thanks everybody for thinking in place of my malfunctioning brain!

Looking for Pure paladin tank build

I’ve got gear set aside and a general idea of feats and enhancements, just wondering if anyone has a forum page of an Aasimar pally tank that I could look at and use as a template ?

Mist Minion Not Giving Durability Advertised.

6 Upvotes

I was farming a quest for mist durability, and when I happened to check my lantern after defeating a Bloodmist Ghoul Lord, I noticed that I'd gotten 7 durability. The only xp bonus I have is the guild one, so whether it was a low or medium difficulty minion, 7 is not the right number. Has anyone else noticed funny numbers?

Eladrin Chaosmancer bundle: purchase, or not?

9 Upvotes

Hi all.

For a player who mixes VIP months and Premier months (limited funds but do not like to feel like a sponge), and plans on doing a fair bit of TR train, is the Eladrin Chaosmancer bundle almost a must-buy bargain while it's still there, since it includes the non-iconic Eladrin race?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Thanks all for the responses! It looks like I missed that these are also included in at least one of the Myth Drannor bundles, so next I'll decide whether to hold out for a discount on that!

Card charged 200$

26 Upvotes

Similar story to a lot I've seen on here but I woke up today with 200$ worth of astral shards bought and removed from my account. An email from my bank let me put a hold on my card and i haven't initiated a charge-back yet as I've seen people get banned for that.

I sent a support request ticket, but knowing SSG who knows how long that'll take, so I was wondering what else I can do after removing the card from my account and changing my DDO and Steam passwords?

Is Inevitable Bugged?

8 Upvotes

Talking about the tier 3 Draconic incarnation enhancement which acts on attune the arcane mantle. Its supposed to apply additional damage over time, but I have yet to see it happen. I was doing Fathom the Depths, and testing it I hit a sahaguin, took it to half health with an acid splash cantrip, and decided to wait for inevitable to finish it. No additional damage ever processed. I just hit it again and killed it. Is it a significant delay in the Damage over time, or is it just bugged?

Kind of bummed they never did more with tavern quest leads

48 Upvotes

I thought it was really neat when I first started playing that youd go to taverns looking for leads on work. But it seems even at the time it was mostly half hearted because I went to another tavern in the harbor and it had the same quests the wayward lobster had. They really could have leaned into it honestly

Dungeon Helper Not Working, and I Don't Know Why.

8 Upvotes

I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I don't know where else I could ask.

Whenever I try to use Dungeon Helper, it keeps saying that, "Dungeon Helper detected 32-bit versions of DDO running, and is only compatible with the 64-bit client." I'm not using the 32-bit servers, though. What is going on, and how can I fix it?

Old computer and framerate..

18 Upvotes

I am hoping my old computer lasts for another year or so atleast. When i started up ddo to do the promo code ( I can't play games for too long due to fans), the fans blew hard and loud as i ever heard when i logged in the character to do the promo code. As soon as i logged out the fans went back to being normal. When I googled it, ddo has uncapped frame rate? Eventually when can afford new computer, is there a way to limit framerate cap or some to 30 or 60 at maybe character select screen or something?

Court of Strahd questions

8 Upvotes

Hey all, few questions on the event:

-is there a way to see your fame score without going to the leaderboards?

-the quests that have the hearts: do we know them all yet?

-if a quest has a heart, example the one in borderlands, does it make a difference if you run it on heroic or epic?

How are the new bow attack speed buffs?

16 Upvotes

I want to TR my paladin and try bows for a change, as I only did melee and spells.

I'd like to go with a Falconry War Soul Pure Silverflame Fvs. The utility granted by the spells is nice, and and more importantly because I scale wisdom, my spells should be able to CC pretty well.

My target is to get to max level on Legendary on Elite difficulty, no raids or such.

Would I be griefing myself?
